I pulled them out of the tub in the morning, wiped the few pieces still touching(not stuck on)the rack. That was it. These racks now look like new - shiny and not a speck on them. Thank you, Shirley.

I've put in two lids of Sards Wonder Power and it looks like it it doing the job. Thank you for making a job i've been putting off for so long a little more bearable.

Shining like new. I will be passing your tip onto all my friends here in Australia. You are fabulous! Wow! 11 years of barely a wipe down, followed your instructions (in my laundry tub) and presto!

Does it matter if it is liquid laundry detergent or granulated detergent? Too bad detergent doesn't remove grease stains from clothing as well as it does on oven racks...go figure. :) Thanks for the wonderful tip.

About 5 minutes into the first of 5 racks (including side ones) I thought there MUST be an easier way to do a tough job well, quicker, and so I might actually want to do it again sooner! Found your site by luck, love the concept, shoved an old towel in the bath at 2pm, ran hit hot with 2 washing clothes detergent caps full of whatever we use, lay the racks down, went out with the family to a village fair, came back, pulled out the racks and with maybe 10-15 minutes spent on all 5 racks in total, hey presto good as gosh darned new, shining like silver - ours were pretty bad, so for those with better over management it'll probably take you even less! Thanks & good luck, great to have wasted my time to little effect.

Actually I so rarely bake any more that my oven stays pretty clean, but I have always just put the racks in a double lined large plastic trash bag and poured 1/2 cup ammonia in the bag (outside) and tied it up for about 30 minutes. There is still some scrubbing involved, but they come out sparking clean. Next time I have to clean them I'll try the tub. thanks for the great blog.
